The Drum: Hank Green, a vlogger with a YouTube following of more than 2.5 million subscribers, posted allegations on his blog: Facebook “is lying, cheating and stealing” in order to dominate a lucrative video advertising market, he wrote, alleging the social network is purposefully slow to give pirated content the boot and is inflating video view stats in order to be seen as a superior rival to YouTube. A Facebook spokeswoman clarified that intellectual property was a key issue for the business despite Green’s claim to the contrary: “We take intellectual property rights very seriously.”
